strong as the other two groups. Also, in most cases, they do not present themselves with an air of great importance. It is generally easier for an audience to listen to this type of music rather than the others because it fosters a relaxing kind of sound that a person can almost fall asleep to. The message of this type of music can either be happy or sad. "Dido's Lament" is a solo piece about a mother singing with respect to her pending death. Every note that the mother sings is dragged out,…

high-frequency sounds of treble. Thanks to the 5.25-inch polymer laminate driver, low frequencies of bass transmitted through the woofer are just as satisfying, and the culmination of the two is a powerful audio experience. Hear a range of sounds in precise clarity with a sensitivity rating of 88 decibels. A built-in crossover gives you control over bandwidth sensitivity. Connect the two-way JBL-2500 bookshelf speaker series to your home theater or entertainment system for a new sound…

Although we can learn about various facts of prehistoric musical cultures from images and archeological remains, our understanding is severely limited by the lack of written record. Instruments themselves were made out of perishable materials, and few have survived. Luckily, pictures show how instruments were held and played, and in what circumstances music was used. Surviving instruments reveal details of their construction. For example, archaeologists exploring the royal tombs at Ur, a…

Darkness. Darkness and silence was what Cordelia Hale woke up to that day. She could feel a duvet tangled around her body and humidity in the air. She could feel silence clamping down on her lungs and making her feel like she was breathing through a layer of insulation, but when she touched her hands to her mouth, there was nothing there. She could feel the blackness of the air around her like a layer of black paint over a white sheet of paper. She sat up, and the duvet cover fell to her hips.…

was written in. It appears that the first movement is written in 9/8, which I was not expecting to hear. The first movement puts a lot of the focus onto the cello, which I enjoyed listening to. The sound of the cello was prominently featured, which I enjoyed. It seems that the violins imitate the sound the cello is producing about twenty seconds into the piece, which creates almost a call and response type of effect. Tension seemed to have developed in this piece rather quickly, which is usually…

A Helmholtz resonator is a rigid container which has an opening to the air surrounding it. A common example of a Helmholtz resonator is a bottle because it has a set volume as well as having an opening which is open to the surrounding air. By considering the Helmholtz resonator as having a neck, such as the neck of a wine bottle, the dynamics of the system may be described. When energy is introduced near the opening of the bottle, for example blowing across it, some of the energy will vibrate…

I was sound asleep in my bed when I heard something break downstairs. I pounced out of bed and grabbed a ChapStick as my weapon. I’m not quite sure what I thought a ChapStick was going to do to a robber but whatever. I was sprinting down the stairs, but I tripped over Crinkles the cat and went tumbling head over heels to the bottom. The ChapStick flew out of my hand when I went airborne and hit me straight in the nose while I was laying there. I got up quickly, pretending that falling down the…

earlier days. Songs used to be completely original and authentic, but due to things like the internet and the ability to manipulate and copy songs the entire music industry has changed. This development has lead to more repetitive in terms of words, sounds, rhythms and beats more than ever before. So music that used to be unique is getting harder and harder to…

Hearing is measured in decibels, which measures the intensity of sound. When measuring a person’s hearing ability, hearing loss is recorded when the person cannot hear a sound lower than twenty-six decibels. In comparison, profound hearing loss is described when a person cannot hear a sound lower than ninety-five decibels (Clason). According to the Hearing Loss Association of America, twenty percent of Americans, which translates into forty-eight million people have some degree of hearing loss…

broken, "it seems" Spike said "that you almost didn`t make it here at all, what did this song sound like?" "well" the Captain started"it sounded like, well.....like a... i think it wa-" it was then that Spike heard it, it was indeed a beautiful song, the words imposible to make out, but the voice it sounded familiar, as if he`d heard it before. He was about to ask the Captain if this was the same sound he`d heard when he heard a splash, they were all jumping over board again!"oh for the love of.…
